Price Template

A price template allows you to set a fixed local price in each country where your app is sold and can be applied to one or more in-app products of an app. This allows you to set the same local price for different in-app products without having to manually update the local prices for each in-app product. This also means the prices of in-app products are not tied to the daily exchange rate of when the in-app product is registered.

When registering an in-app product, you set a standard price for it in U.S. dollars. This standard price and the daily exchange rate are used to generate local prices that can be automatically applied to each country where your app is sold (the daily exchange rate used is KEB Hana Bank's exchange rate from the previous business day).

If you register in-app products with the same standard price on different days, the calculated price for one or more countries may be different from the price of a previously registered in-app product because the daily exchange rate has changed. If you want the prices of these in-app products to be the same in the same country, you must manually update that country's price for each of the in-app products. Or, if you register in-app products with the same standard price on the same day but adjust a country's local price, you must manually update that country's price for each of the in-app products.

Two features allow you to quickly and easily update local prices so that prices are consistent for all your in-app products in a single app. One feature is to update the exchange rate, which allows you to reset the local prices based on the current exchange rate. Use this feature if you want to use only the calculated local prices in each country. The other feature, the price template (described on this page), allows you to set local prices in a template and then apply the template to one or more of your in-app products.

This page describes how to manage a price template:

Create a price template

When you create a price template, you set a standard price in U.S. dollars. You then apply a price to each country based on this standard price and the current daily exchange rate. You can choose to:

  • Use the applied price for each country

  • Set the local price for one or more countries

After you have created the price template with your desired local prices, you can use it to set the same standard and local prices for any of your in-app products. For example, if you apply a standard price of US$1 to the in-app product, you can adjust the local price in Germany and Spain to be €1 in a price template. Then, you can apply this price template to as many in-app products of the app as you wish.

To create a price template:

  1. There are two ways to start creating a price template:

    • From the In App Purchase tab of a selected app, click Price Template
    undefined
    • When you are adding an in-app product from the Add Item window, in the Price section, select Add New Template.
    undefined

  2. Click Add New Template.

  3. From the Add Price Template window, enter the following:

    Field

    		Description
    Standard Price

    		Required. The price, in U.S. dollars, on which local prices are based.

    After entering the price, click Apply to generate local prices.

    Template Name

    		Required. The name of the template.

    Search Item

    		Click on Search for items to display a list of in-app products within the app. Select one or more in-app products to which to apply this template. The in-app products to which the template is applied are displayed in the Selected Items area.

    Price by each country

    		Initially displays the calculated local price based on the standard price and daily exchange rate. You can manually enter the price for individual countries. The price must be at or above the minimum payment amount of a country/region. If you set the price below the minimum payment amount, Seller Portal automatically changes the price to the minimum payment amount.

  4. Click Save.

Modify a price template

You can modify the standard price, template name, in-app products to which the template is applied, and the local country prices.

Delete a price template

You can delete a price template at any time, even if it is connected to an in-app product.

If you delete a price template connected to one or more in-app products, the titles of the connected in-app products are displayed in the pop-up confirmation window.

When you delete a price template connected to one or more in-app products, the prices for the connected in-app products are initially based on the values from the deleted template. If you want to change the prices, you must manually adjust them by updating the in-app product.

  1. From the In App Purchase tab of a selected app, click Price Template.

    undefined

  2. Click the garbage can icon to the right of the price template you want to delete.
